US rapper J.I.D played his Laneway Festival Sydney sideshow at Max Watt’s on Tuesday 04 February. The East Atlanta rapper went hard with his unique sound, as the SOLD OUT crowd bounced from opening track ‘Never’, right through to ‘Costa Rica’ to close out the night.

With an aim to rewrite the recently trap-heavy history of Atlanta, J.I.D, who earlier this year toured on the bass-heavy Hidden Festival, is returning Down Under with some seriously swelling hype. His sophomore album “Dicaprio 2” arrived late last year featuring a star-studded list of collaborators and producers, including the late Mac Miller, 6LACK, A$AP Ferg, Joey Bada$$, Ella Mai and J.Cole – the album earned a place just out side the top 10 for Rolling Stones Best Hip Hop albums of 2018. His early alliance with the crazy cats EARTHGANG, and his signing to J.Cole’s label, Dreamville Records, J.I.D has cemented his place in the creme of hip hop’s next wave.

Support on the night came from St. Lane.

Flying Lotus returned to Sydney for his first appearance of the globally-renowned, mind-bending Flying Lotus 3D experience across Australia and New Zealand,

No stranger to Australiasian shores, the artist known by fans affectionately as FlyLo has toured his past five studio albums down-under, since he attended Red Bull Music Academy in Melbourne in 2006 and met some long-term collaborators in the cohort.

Whether he’s covered in women’s bras at a secret Captain Murphy show, getting the ‘shoe’ at Meredith Music Festival, or blowing the curved-roof off the Sydney Opera House, FlyLo’s shows have been a much-talked about affair for anyone interested in experimental music and visual arts across the country. Fans new and old, this time, are invited to forget what they’ve seen or heard before — Flying Lotus 3D makes the extensive and first-of-it’s-kind stage show Layer 3 look simple.

Whilst any photos or clips are hard to give the 3D experience any justice, check out the below gallery for a taste of what fans enjoyed on the night.
